Codon degeneracy information


Degeneracy or redundancy[1] of codons is the redundancy of the genetic code, exhibited as the multiplicity of three-base pair codon combinations that specify an amino acid. The degeneracy of the genetic code is what accounts for the existence of synonymous mutations.[2]: Chp 15
